Why I’m Involved with Biopods^®

Dr. Hodges welcomes the opportunity to join the Biopods Medical Advisory Board and help professionals and lay people approach this applied physiologic science.

From countless hours, training, biking and running, I have accumulated my fair share of injuries over the years including, intermittent cuboid (foot bone) subluxation and degenerative disc disease of the low back. I started wearing Biopods about 6 months ago.  I am often barefoot and what I found within few days of wearing them is that I felt as though I was barefoot with them on! After about 10 weeks I noticed a difference in flexibility and ankle strength. Now several months in them, I have found better posture and less low back discomfort.   

I’ve reviewed the science underlying Biopods and found the product reflects the fundamental laws of biomechanical physiology and applies that in an elegant accessible way.
